Can you elaborate on the T modifier for a 
MailMate newbie coming from Eudora? I am trying 
to come to grips with flags and tags and having 
fits and frustrations.

I just tried to tag a single email with 1 tag and 
436 emails got tagged with 2 tags, and I can't 
undo that so far. On the plus side, I got one 
smart mailbox that shows all tagged emails and 
another that shows all flagged emails.

Having only keyboard shortcuts for dealing with 
flags and tags is really a major shortcoming for 
me. I am not only overloaded with things to 
remember as it is, I also prefer using mouse over 
keyboard.

Are tags really freely transferred through IMAP 
servers? The documentation says that IMAP tags 
are only reliable. I was watching communication 
with one or two of my server and they showed the 
list of accepted tags, which were the standard 
IMAP tags as listed in the Mailmate doc.
